    Very hard to say... Every era had great cars and very bland and boring ones... Tho I'm leaning towards late 70s to early 90s... I mean Ferrari F40, Lamborghini Countach, all the group B cars... Mercedes 560SEC AMG, BMW M6, the original M3, hot hatches...

    That's for European cars... For American cars, I want the spaceage craze back! Long, V8 cars with more chrome than a semi, fins larger than airplane tails and bench seats wide enough to be mistaken for beds!

    Japanese cars - post 80s

      The Countach looked cool as fuck, but it kinda sucked. Same with the F40.

        The Countach might be a bit rubbish by today's standards, but back then it was a spaceship!
        It's a great car, because it is pure emotion! It moves you (all puns intended)...
        You ever seen a kid with a Honda Accord poster on their wall? Never, it was always a Countach, or an F40...

        yep, it was never meant to be practical car though, just something that looked cool and went fast.

      I personally think 90s cars were the most uninspiring. 80s Cars were ugly, but they had a lot more charm to them.

        the quality got better in the 90s but they were uglier ill give yall that

        the 80s cars were smaller and had the boxy designsa the 70s along with tryin to implement electronics and computers and emission controls usin 70s technology

        dismal failure

        theres honda civics nowadays straight off the factory floor whatll smoke corvettes from the 80s in every performance category

      Pontiac Fiero, bud. I also like the Ford pickups, Bronco and Camaro IROC. I like the square body Ford and Chevy trucks. Had a few 85- 89's that I'd love to have again!

          Yesssss. I have an 84 Chevy truck.

          My favorite is a 78-ish Ford Ranger. I like the square headlights.

          I aim to put a Caddy Northstar engine in a Fiero. They are very well built cars with good suspension, you really can't beat them for the price.

            that sounds like an incredible combination yall could prolly adapt the whole motor and driveline in there

            problem with that v8 swap was it still used the stock fiero driveline which liked to twist up & fail

            only mid engine american car besides the corvair and ford gt

            i had a chance to git a ford gt for about 80 grand in the early 2000s it were a salvage title causea some front end damage but no huge deal

            i still hates myself for declinin itd be worth a quarter mil now

    I'm into old muscle cars. so late 60's and early 70's were the best muscle cars. Camaros, Roadrunners, Cuda's. Best time for muscle cars by far.

    Aesthetically, trucks from the 60's and earlier

      Personally, I would love to have a 1964 or 1965 Dodge D100 "High Performance Package" Pickup with a 426 "Max Wedge" (Not to be confused with the 426 HEMI), or at least the 383 B-Series V8

        Heyyy, I remember you.

        Nice choice, I love round headlights so much, and that body shape is awesome

      There were some beautiful cars from that time! Cords, Duesenburgs, Auburn Boat-Tail Speedsters, and the Talbot-Lago.

      A family friend has a 1936 Plymouth PB Sedan that looks pretty sharp!

      Every decade has at least a few vehicles that are pretty awesome, even the dreadfully boring 1990's!

    I'm pretty sure it's the current decade, otherwise they'd still make them the way they used to if they were so great. My favorites were the 90s though. Innovation was finally getting traction and more efficient and safer cars were becoming a thing

    I like the body frames of cars from the 50s and early 60s, the ones with the tail fins and pastel colors. Take those and put in modern mechanics and I’d be set!

    The 60s, I bought a mint 1969 Cobra Jet Mustang in 1982, yellow with black accent stripes, looked like fighter jet.

    The 1950's cars were slick, futuristic and cool.

    Personally, I like most cars made prior to 1984, and most trucks made prior to 1994.

    from 50's to 70's and early 80's . some cars from 90's are kinda cool for tuning. Today's cars are ugly af unless they're sports car or luxury cars.
